Stephan Jacobs is a rising star in the glitch hop world. He’s 1/2 of Keether which has done a lot over the years for the west coast community. Stephan has been putting out quality tracks throughout the entire year. 2010 has been a monumental year for him establishing himself as solo performer. I had the pleasure of getting to meet him for the first time in person during Lightning in a Bottle this year and even got to catch his renegade set out there.

It’s my pleasure to bring you his 2010 year end mix filled with all originals. As you can see all the hard work he has put into this year shines in this mix. He’s had some amazing collaborations and has many more tracks up his sleeve. Be on the look out for touring dates with Sugarpill in 2011 and an incredible live version of Level Attack.

Nothing but respect for Mr. Jacobs. As many of you regular readers know I have been looking for an apprenticeship to begin learning production. The spot was filled by Stephan awhile ago. Unfortunately I’ve been swamped by endless amounts of work and lack of wireless internet at my new house but once I’m all ready we going to work. Can’t thank him enough for offering this opportunity to learn from one of my favorite producers and great friend.
